 Cannot find any documentation or example of how to do so using visual studio 2022 with C#. 
 I have no previous experience working with USB BLE dongle</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 30 Jul 2024 10:53:16 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/113511/who-to-use-nrf52840-usb840f-dongle-in-c-application" /><item><title>RE: Who to use nRF52840 USB840F dongle in c# application</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/496182?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jul 2024 10:53:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:eb43be49-19e9-4409-ada7-fe790e3bba94</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s possible to enable a BT shell over USB (where you can send commands to&amp;nbsp;a serial port to scan for and connect to BLE devices):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/peripherals/posts/using-bluetooth-shell"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/peripherals/posts/using-bluetooth-shell&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/connectivity/bluetooth/bluetooth-shell.html"&gt;https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/connectivity/bluetooth/bluetooth-shell.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I would have looked at how to interface a serial port (COM port) if you want to build a generic Windows application. You would then send human readable commands and parse strings in your application, and present it to the use as you best see fit.&lt;/p&gt;
